Purchase options and add-ons

Ancient Nubia was home to a series of civilizations between the sixth millennium BCE and 350 CE that produced towering monuments, including more pyramids than in neighboring Egypt, and artifacts of enduring beauty and significance. Nubia's trade network reached across the Mediterranean and far into Africa. At the time that Nubian kings conquered Egypt, in the middle of the eighth century BCE, they controlled one of the largest empires of the ancient world.

The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, has the most extensive and important collection of ancient Nubian art outside of Khartoum, mostly gathered during the pioneering Harvard University–Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition in the first half of the 20th century. The objects highlighted in this volume include refined early ceramics, monumental statues and relief carvings made for royal pyramids, exquisite gold and enamel jewelry, playful decorations for furniture and clothing, and luxury goods traded from around the Mediterranean world.

My friend was disappointed that she could not go with me to the Ancient Nubia exhibit at the St. Louis Art Museum. I was pleased to find this book as it included pictures of the items on display with excellent written descriptions and explanations for each item. My friend was very pleased with it!

Great photographic reproduction of the items. It is good to see such an overlooked section of history. Have enjoyed all this series of MFA highlights.
